 JW ANDERSON 


INDIGITAL
JW Anderson is going back to traditional feminine territory with lace, doily fabrics and frilly edges with his signature silhouettes and oversized proportions channelled into skirts and silhouettes with a bohemian feel tossed together. The collection including breezy and playful bib tops, macramé overlays and headscarves. Models wearing long striped dresses with white bib tops and handkerchief hems, fit-and-flare knit dresses came with tank tops or delicate lace sleeves. Fringed macramé dangled from the edges of tailored check jackets, low-slung necklines and floor-sweeping fringe from sleeves of cropped blouses. Wide trousers and cotton skirts paired together with Converse sneakers or boots.

HOUSE OF HOLLAND 

INDIGITAL
A collection with a vast range of accessories and bright neon colours dominated this season. Attention grabbing neon sandals with nylon sportswear pieces, track-pants and parachute parkas. The collaboration with Speedo made into bodysuits paired together with tracksuits and off-the-shoulder dresses in blue and pink. Double-denim in ombre aubergine and orange and paper-bag pants in pistachio, perhaps the easiest pieces for any rushing commuter to jump into included parkas in black and pink.

VICTORIA BECKHAM

INDIGITAL
Marking 10 years in the business Victoria Beckham took her new season collection to London for her first show in the capital after her residency in New York. The opening look was a white suit with a buckle belt which set the tone for this collection and along with it came long dresses and trousers with flat boots, textured knits came together with wraparound dresses or layered under tailored jackets. Heavy contrasts played a part in this collection with flowing Greek Goddess like dresses with bright blue rope belt and a red ribbed skirt with a handkerchief hem accessorised with a pink robe belt. Lace-edged slip dresses layered over boyish flat-front trousers where delicate lacing peeked from a deep V-neck black trouser suit.  At best this collection was sexy with delicate lace worn as daywear, these clothes are building a movement

MARY KATRANTZOU



Mary Katrantzou’s collection dominated by butterflies in frame adorned dresses, gems spilled out on rigid dresses and many dresses fashioned in a way of a jewellery box. Dresses constructed through panelling and patching tulle and trompe-L’œil shift dresses with digitally printed jewellery on the front. The first few dresses on the stamp theme, overlapping pieces laid out on grids were linked together with strips of transparent lace. This season was even more extravagant, transparent blow-up jacket packed with imitation coral and seaweed worn with white tulle dress covered in embroidered flowers.

Roland Mouret 


INDIGITAL
Roland Mouret’s spring show noted specific inspirational references from the 1974 film Emmanuelle, Yonic symbolism and the power of females. The collection is based upon a collection of women’s voices and femininity. The Yonic stymbolism was manifested as brooches, necklaces and badges. The use of statement pins were arranged on lapels, invoking political involvement. Low cut icey blue dress came early on aswell as fine lace netting that was layered beneath tops and dress hems. A bluebell print appeared on a caftan, accessorized with a tiny staw-and-chain cross-body bag and floral cut-outs on a knit top or a mid-skirt or a lime green trench with matching mid-rise trousers.

Preen By Thornton Bregazzi 


INDIGITAL
Fortune tellers and gypsies and the new breed of so-called digital nomads were the inspiration for designing this collection. Clashing prints, colours and disparate references exploded onto the runway. Technical nylon fabrics ,made into loose shorts and juxtaposed with pretty floral and ruffled tops: minidresses featuring patchwork of different prints and slashed knitted panels draped over them. Short knitted vests layered with tulle and florals draped over minidresses.
